  • Why was the book placed on the "Outstanding Books for the College Bound" list?
>
> This book is on the College Bound list for a very good reason. It is probably the best action filled book that I have ever read. J.R.R Tolkien grabs you at the beginning of the book and doesn't let go of you. You are bound to this book until you finish because it is so exciting and action packed. J.R.R Tolkien does not have one boring part in this book. You just have to take the time to sit down and read it because I promise you wont regret it. This book is that good. J.R.R Tolkien builds her characters up so you feel like you know them. I found myself starting to root for them to make it to the end and have a happy ending. This is a good reason why this book is so good.

> Why would I recommend this book to someone else?
>
  • This book is perfect for the action lover. For people who like to stay in the action all the time and don't like to have one dull moment this book is for you. It is the perfect book that is of course fiction but you fell like you are in the book with the characters and you just want to go and do what they do with them. This book is by far the best book that I have ever read and I think you would think the same as well.

  • What makes this book outstanding?
  • That is a pretty good question. The question is not what makes this book outstanding, it is what doesn't make it outstanding. This book top to bottom is fascinating and entertaining. The characters are so well built up through the book you know exactly who they are and what kind of things they would do. The plot moves along so easliy and smooth. I never felt lost in this book. J.R.R Tolkien describes everything neat and clearly so I could understand what everything is and it put a pretty good image in my head of what was going on.
